Squaw Valley Mountain Adventures

Elevate your summers when you take an aerial tram up to an alpine paradise! With heated pools and scenic hikes, high-altitude adventures at Squaw Mountain await!

What Is It?

The gateway to High Camp starts in The Village at Squaw Valley, where you’ll embark on a 10-minute aerial tram ride and soar 550 feet above a mountainscape of creeks, forests, and the iconic Tram Face. With a 360-degree view and a knowledgeable guide at the helm, Squaw Valley comes to life before you even reach the top!

Take on the Tahoe Via Ferrata, as you explore Squaw Valley’s most iconic rock face, guided by professional climbers from Alpenglow Expeditions. Using steel anchors and cables, participants are safely attached to the rock throughout the climb, making this a fun and exciting activity for adventurous families!

Insider Tips

A day full of nonstop action at High Camp offers hours of fun, but might be tiresome for families. Take a break by checking out the Olympic Museum, commemorating Squaw Valley’s involvement in the 1960 Winter Olympics, and plenty of great eateries!

Dogs are welcome on the Aerial Tram, the High Camp deck, surrounding walking and hiking trails, and The Village at Squaw Valley.

It’s easier to get sunburned at higher altitudes, so be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen for a day’s worth of activities!
